The newest in Jeopardy!'s
line of great challenges is coming around again, with
fifteen of America's greatest teachers being honored by
coming to play the great American quiz show of record.
At stake, $100,000 and a shot at $250,000 later on in
the next Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. What challenges await these educators? How will they rise to meet them? The answers to these questions could be worth $100,000 for the winner, $50,000 for the first runner-up, and $25,000 for the second runner-up. Semifinalists are guaranteed $10,000, while everyone who competes gets $5000 and a copy of "Classroom Jeopardy!". Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings. So far, Anne Baxter and Patrick Dillon are in the honors classes. Who gets to sit next to them?
Eli has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $600 US Landmarks. Karen, who has to traverse state lines to get to work (she lives in SC, she works in NC), has $3800 to Eli's $6000. She bets $1000 on this: this landmark's Skycity restaurant has been serving its Lunar Orbiter ice cream sundae since the 1962 World's Fair. "What is the Seattle Space Needle?" RIGHT for $4800! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 An Eponymous Category. James and Eli are tied at $7800. Eli gets this clue, though. He bids $2400 on this: the name of these breeches is derived from a pseudonym used by Washington Irving for one of his works. "What is Headless Horseman?" No, it's "knickerbockers", leaving him with $5400. Daily Double #2: $1200 "A" in Geography. James, who rebounded to $9400, is within striking distance of Eli's $12,200. He bets $2400 again on this: Great Britain has several rivers named this, from the Celtic for "river". "What's the Arne?" No, it was the Avon, leaving him further below with $7000. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Final Jeopardy! category: MYTHOLOGY
Correct response: who was King
Midas?
Eli had the lead from start to finish. He has a broad range of knowledge, but it will take more than that to make it to the final. Meanwhile, we can safely bid adieu to Kati Sorenson from yesterday and James Brown from today, as both are mathematically eliminated. Tomorrow, we have your first two clinchers.
